Does this mean you will have 2 rigs running WCG? what's the final setup on them?

Well my current one as you know in my system specs and well my build is listed in my first post of my log. I will be running the FX 8150 if all goes well with the Formula IV Extreme. Yes it will be overclocked and running boinc while I'm at work and not gaming.

Like we said, I will be up to 14 cores.

I saw the spec listing in your log but was just wondering whether the 7970's were still going in the new build or if you were swapping them out with the 6870's in your existing rig, HDD and ram choices, etc...

Isn't there a beta bios available to run an 8150 in the board in your sig too?

Yup....I just got the board delivered from Stinger just now....removed my 1055T and TT cooler and installed it on the board on my test bench (AKA Computer chair) with my 6870...you think I'm going to buy a 7970 for a new rig that I'm building and not put it in my current rig???? Anywho....I put the 6870 on it plugged my OCZ power supply in....used a dime for the start button a ALIT she did!!!!!!!

Yes though Norton you are right 3 weeks from now I am flashing the bios to accept the FX 8150. Then I'll put you to shame

Oh, PS: After I build this I will add another 7970.

dude, you didn't need to jump the pins. Down on the lower right hand side of the motherboard is a start and reset button built into the board just for enthusiasts like us.

Hahaha, well life could be better for me. I'm still dealing with an ugly divorce .... and as if the divorce wasn't ugly enough, .... I could always post a picture of my soon (120 days) to be ex. (sorry....I just can't do that to you guys )

I don't post very often here, and the way things are going, it's likely to be even less for a while. I might even have to shut down for a few months (and I mean until sept or oct for now) Damn... what was I thinking back in 1997 when I said "I DO" to the chaplin ???

Live and learn I guess.

I'll still lurk, and maybe crunch for awhile, but I do expect my numbers to drop off for a while.

Once bitten...twice shy

I wonder if my Ralph Cramden (honey mooners) avatar is still associated with my account ...... one way to find out ..... I'll hit submit Reply
